Firefighters called yesterday afternoon to a house fire in Toledo spent about four hours extinguishing it, according to Lewis County Fire District 2 Chief Dave Germain.
“It was a lot of fire, it was a real stubborn fire,” Germain said.
One teenage boy was home at the time but got out safely, and nobody was injured, he said.
Germain said the lower level of the residence on the 500 block of Washington Street was pretty much saved, albeit with a lot of water damage.
“The upper story is pretty well gone,” he said.
A fire investigator was looking into its cause, he said.
